Lyrics
EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED (I ALREADY HAVE) WORDS AND MUSIC BY ANDY BUDD PERFORMED BY PAULA WHILHITE
I used to have an office job, but gave it up years ago / They said I had a future, But I said "no, I don't think so" / We don't need the extra money, We just live a simple life. / I'm just a simple country girl , who loves being a mom and wife
ALL I NEED IS MY MAN TO HOLD ME TIGHT / MY KIDS TO HUG ME AND TELL ME THEY LOVE ME AND SAY THEIR PRAYERS AT NIGHT / JOY AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AN OCCASIONAL BUBBLE BATH / EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED I ALREADY HAVE
The alarm goes off at 5 am, We tumble out of bed / he showers 'n' shaves, I wake the kids, another day ahead / Breakfast to get 'em goin', packin' lunches while they eat / A hug and a kiss before they go, makes my day complete
ALL I NEED IS MY MAN TO HOLD ME TIGHT / MY KIDS TO HUG ME AND TELL ME THEY LOVE ME AND SAY THEIR PRAYERS AT NIGHT / JOY AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AN OCCASIONAL BUBBLE BATH / EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED I ALREADY HAVE
Our cars are ten years old, but they're still running great / Sometimes I wish my wardrobe, weren't so out of date / We don't eat steak & lobster, but there's always enough to eat / We put a little bit in savings, from his paycheck every week,
ALL I NEED IS MY MAN TO HOLD ME TIGHT / MY KIDS TO HUG ME AND TELL ME THEY LOVE ME AND SAY THEIR PRAYERS AT NIGHT / JOY AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AN OCCASIONAL BUBBLE BATH / EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED I ALREADY HAVE
(Instrumental)
ALL I NEED IS MY MAN TO HOLD ME TIGHT / MY KIDS TO HUG ME AND TELL ME THEY LOVE ME AND SAY THEIR PRAYERS AT NIGHT / JOY AND LOVE AND LAUGHTER AN OCCASIONAL BUBBLE BATH / EVERYTHING I REALLY NEED I ALREADY HAVE
